[43:25]  1 tn The construction uses the infinitive construct after the preposition, followed by the subjective genitive.

[43:25]  2 tn The action precedes the action of preparing the gift, and so must be translated as past perfect.

[43:25]  3 tn Heb “eat bread.” The imperfect verbal form is used here as a historic future (future from the perspective of the past).
